Discuss Results of Technical Criteria along side Results of Community-Specific <br /> Criteria <br /> Bob Sallach reiterated that the rank is simply the numeric point total and does not <br /> represent the recommendation to the Board or the Board's desire. The highest ranked site is <br /> #759. He said that there is a significant break after the sixth site in terms of total points. <br /> He went through the Technical and Community-Specific Evaluation Summaries, which <br /> showed the ranking of the sites based on both sets of criteria. For example, site 857 had a <br /> technical criteria ranking of 1 but a community-specific criteria ranking of 6. <br /> He said that this is presented to the Board for further consideration. <br /> Chair Jacobs said that Commissioner Carey could not be here and is en route from the <br /> airport and may be here later. He said that the Board of County Commissioners at its meeting <br /> last week established that it did not want to have more than three candidate sites. <br /> Commissioner Foushee pointed out that the Board did not officially decide on three sites, <br /> but there was a general consensus. <br /> Bob Sallach pointed out that in this consideration, there is one site that is freely offered for <br /> sale, and this is site 056. <br /> Commissioner Foushee made reference to the number of sites off of NC 54 and if anyone <br /> has measured the distance from these sites to the 1-40/1-85 connector. Bob Sallach said that <br /> they have looked at distances and travel time from the centroid of waste generation to the site, <br /> but not to the station itself. He said that the travel pattern from the transfer station will be <br /> somewhat dictated on where ultimate disposal is. <br /> 3 <br />
